The place rocks, pardon the pun. Both my pre teen kids love both the bouldering and belay sections. It has plenty of auto belays to give you a break when the kids go from run to run and the staff who work there and the folks who climb there are very friendly.

I come to Burlington from Toronto for Climber's Rock because it is so great! There is plenty of space and it doesn't get too crowded like the Toronto gyms. They have 8-9 autobelay walls ranging from 5-3 to 5-11 so it's easy to practice solo.

Awesome bouldering wall. The staff is super friendly and helpful to beginners- wall changes near weekly. Been climbing for a year and a half now every week there's something different to climb. Staff is always willing to take time and answers questions.

Re-Writing this review after gaining some experience in climbing in general, and visiting the location a second time. My previous complaints about the location have essentially been answered or shown to be faulty.

My original main complaint was that their version of difficulty is very bad holds. ...

Love this gym. Always super super clean. Great staff, good setting, and they refresh the routes at a good pace. After being here for a couple months they had a sale on annual passes and I bought one without thinking twice.

They also have a small weight training area, and a climbing-specific train...

Probably the best climbing gym I have ever been to. Not that I have been to a HUGE number, but probably 10-15 over the years.
Massive bouldering wall. A crazy number of options for climbs. Many self belay devices for those who might not have a partner with them. All sorts of additional services (le...

Fantastic gym with a huge selection of different climbs.

Bouldering is broken up into two sections with great dynos at the back part. The bouldering section is poorly lit and can be hard to distinguish the different routes.

The top rope is fantastic with a wide variety of challenging climbs. T...

WARNING - do not park in spots designated for other businesses, nor across the street at the GO Station - City of Burlington parking enforcement will slam you and it's not cheap. As for Climbers Rock, the place is amazing. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the place has a great social...

Took a class at this climbing gym with my stepson on Sep 20th. The facilities were very clean and with good lighting. We took the two month package, which included the belaying class. I was very satisfied with the staff there. They were very friendly and helpful. The belaying class was taught in a v...

Learned to climb here and learned to love climbing here. Great choice of walls, SUPER friendly staff, and 10/10 customer service for members during COVID suspension. They really went out of their way to do what was best for their members and staff, treating everyone well. Just an awesome, well run,...

Excellent community of climbers at this gym; friendly staff and plenty of diversity in level of climbers from absolute beginners to IFSC athletes. The facility itself has everything you could want: bouldering, top rope, lead cave (love this), auto belays, dedicated training area that's separated fro...

So far the gym of choice!
Great routes that are clearly defined by the rock colours and cannot be confused with different route. Music is a nice selection of light electronics that drives extra energy but does not distract from the climb and isn't too loud so the belayer and climber can still commu...

1 of 5 Stars: I had a really bad customer experience a few years back. I enjoy this gym, which is why I gave it one star. Here is my breakdown:

-1 Star: Staff. When I was getting my belay test the staff member (some small asian guy with some attitude) was yelling at me. Yes yelling at me and was ...

Fabulous rock-climbing gym. Staff has worked super hard lately to make sure there are fresh new routes all of the time. This gym is very inclusive and has a diverse client base. Whether you climb beginner 5.4 routes, you just boulder, or you lead climb 11+ routes, there is something for everybody. I...

Pros:

Pros:
Cost
Actual rock climbing
Friendly staff
Cons:
Small change rooms
Crowded

However, you can't expect to have low cost membership and not very crowded. If you don't want crowded, you'll have to go a gym that charges more.
Five stars because the pros outweigh the cons.

Climbers Rock is an excellent rock climbing gym. I've only been going for a couple weeks now but it's a significant improvement on the overcrowded locations I grew used to climbing in San Francisco. There is a great number of walls and the routes are clearly maintained and reset on a frequent basis ...

This place is wonderful, the staff here are always friendly and helpful! Their route setting is great and frequently changed. They are really good at managing their bigger groups so that the gym doesn't get crowded. Always worth the drive from Niagara for us

Another plastic day . . .

Lots of routes and varied terrain. The place seems to be focused mainly on bouldering as the walls are very short.

There are 2 separate bouldering walls, lots of problems. Top outs are high! I'd like to see higher routes and lower top-outs, but all in all I left ti...

Great gym for all types of climbers the only thing I don't like is how the prices have hiked up way more than what it used to be. Also, I was taught a way of belaying from my main gym and my party was told it wasn't the way he teaches belaying so he stopped our session to show us then walked around ...
